Rollbahn

This 70gsm Rollbahn notebook is larger than a B6 and smaller than an A5. It has a very strong double wire spiral binding in a painted gunmetal grey colour. The other unusual colour is the paper. Rather than a standard cream, it’s more on the yellow side, which means inks would not appear true to colour when writing on the paper. The notebook has grid marking with soft grey lines. The most unusual feature is at the rear of the notebook. Sandwiched between two heavy paper pages is five plastic envelopes. They’re open at the top, so things would fall out if you tipped your notebook upside down, but it’s good to have some pockets.

My in-depth review video will look at the company and their products, the construction, features and markings of the journal, the paper, the company’s approach to environmental and social responsibility, and includes a pen test of a full range of pens (with a special fountain pen test) and watercolour paints. See my pen test page for an explanation of each test.
